"Hope Kills" is the thirty-third episode of the American television drama series The Killing, which aired on July 7, 2013. The episode is written by Brett Conrad and is directed by Tricia Brock. In the episode, Detective Holder (Joel Kinnaman) and Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) learn Pastor Mike (Ben Cotton) is not who he claims to be. Bullet (Bex Taylor-Klaus) and Lyric (Julia Sarah Stone) get closer. Seward (Peter Sarsgaard) becomes more disturbed, while the gallows is being prepared for his execution.
At Beacon Home, Pastor Mike tells Linden and Holder that Angie Gower didn't enter the shelter the night she was found. At Linden's request, the pastor hands over photos of girls who stayed at the shelter three years ago. Out in the hallway, Rayna (Benjamin Charles Watson) eavesdrops. Twitch (Max Fowler) finds Lyric and Bullet in bed together at the abandoned hotel. Lyric tries to explain, but Twitch brags that he was with an older woman all day. An angry Lyric leaves with Bullet.
At the station, Linden is unable to find a criminal record for Pastor Mike. Holder remains suspicious, pointing out that nearly all of the 17 victims found in the pond passed through Beacon Home. When Linden gets home, Cody (Andrew Jenkins) is waiting for her. He wants to talk about their relationship and her recent whereabouts. She tells him she was trying to be something she wasn't with him, then asks him to leave. In The Jungle, Holder asks Bullet about Pastor Mike. She defends him, saying Pastor Mike is the only guy in Seattle who's not a pedophile.
On death row, Seward speculates that Becker (Hugh Dillon) left work early the night of Alton's suicide due to problems with his wife. Becker taunts Seward by pointing out that the gallows is under construction. In the locker room, Becker tells Henderson (Aaron Douglas) that he left work early to look for his wife, who he found at a bar with another man. He adds that his son, and even the convicts, all know about his wife's adultery.
Danette (Amy Seimetz) visits Beacon Home. Pastor Mike tells her Kallie isn't there, then reassures her that Kallie is a survivor. Outside, Danette finds a menu from a pizzeria with "He's lying" written on it on her windshield. At the police station, she tells Linden that she visited Pastor Mike and shows her the pizzeria menu left on her windshield. Linden and Holder visit the pizzeria. As Holder orders a slice, they notice a watchful Rayna, who says she saw Angie bleeding in the alleyway next to Beacon Home the night of the attack. Rayna called Pastor Mike, who soon arrived in his car. When the Pastor pulled up, Angie ran away and Pastor Mike chased her. He later returned without her, but with blood all over his shirt.
